Subject: Bad Spelling, Too
Bad directimg? Dude, nothing is worse than Miami Vice, Nothing! How 'bout that schmuck that played Don Johnson's boss. He always was looking down at the teleprompter for his lines which made him look strung out. Of course, everybody was strung-out during those Raygun 80's.
